Listen Later

This is the final installment of our Women’s Health Series. We welcome back
our returning guest and good friend the pod, Cyrine Farhat! On this
episode, we peel back the layers on Eritrea and Cyrine’s personal
experience with pregnancy loss. (Content warning: this episode will dive
into the details of pregnancy loss).
We dive further into:
* How Eritrea found friendship within Cyrine and the Positive on
Glucose support group
* Eritrea’s loss of her own baby in 2019 and how her pregnancy created
diabetes complications
* The shame and stigma that comes around pregnancy loss and how support
and talking about experiences really can help
* Cyrine’s story of pregnancy loss at 35 weeks with Baby Joya while
living with T1D on New Years Eve 2019
* The emotions that can come after pregnancy loss and the emotional
labor of consoling others while processing your own feelings around
the loss
* How Cyrine turned her loss into a love for advocacy and helping other
women with diabetes so they wouldn’t have to go through what she did
* The importance of listening to your intuition and your body and how
advocating for yourself can really make the difference.
* The moment that made Cyrine open up about losing Baby Joya
* How she attempted to prepare herself for the journey of being a mom
even after loss
* Cyrine’s Surprise Rainbow baby: Fadel!
* What Health Care Professionals can do, and what Cyrine wished her
doctor would’ve done differently
* How differently she handled the second pregnancy differently after a
hard learning experience
* Advice for partners of a person with diabetes going thru pregnancy
loss
* Normalizing pregnancy loss and giving women their power back in
making their own autonomous reproductive health decisions
